Zombies first appear in Juliet's school on her 18th birthday. Don't worry -- it's totally okay to take a peek!

Juliet is a cheerleader at her school.

Juliet's school, San Romero Highschool, is located on the West Coast (that would be of America, I believe) and is the largest school in the region.

Juliet's chainsaw is full of pink because pink is her favorite color.

By reaching certain conditions you can make Juliet's chainsaw power up, gaining new skills.)

Like with the rest of Grasshopper's titles, famed game musician Akira Yamaoka is heading up the sound staff. "We're putting a lot of effort into the soundtrack, definitely," commented Suda. "Part of the reason we established Grasshopper in the first place was so we could work on every part of a game in-house, and we treat sound especially importantly in this outfit. The sound team for Lollipop is led by Yamaoka and they're working on a whole array of pop tunes right now. Part of the gameplay might involve sound as well, although exactly how we're still keeping a secret."

No release date was given for Lollipop Chainsaw, which (according to Yasuda) already has an overseas publisher committed to releasing the game in English, although he didn't reveal who. "The game's framework is complete, and now we're deep into the fine-tuning process," Suda said. "I'd place it at around 70 percent complete. It's really a new era for zombie games -- a piece of 'pop' zombie entertainment."

WARNER BROS. INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT AND KADOKAWA GAMES BRING TOGETHER THE SWEET AND THE “UN-DEAD” IN LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will be publishing the game outside of all Asian territories

Lollipop Chainsaw is an all-new third person action game being developed by GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE, led by celebrated gamemaker Goichi Suda (aka Suda51) and featuring the musical compositions of the renowned Akira Yamoaka. In addition to these two talented individuals, Warner Bros.

Meh. It looks so forced and cheesy, that it's gone past the stage where you're supposed to take it in a light manner. In my eyes, it just looks plain stupid, and not in the good way. It's like they think people actually enjoy EXTREME GORE + BOOBS ALL THE TIME EVERY TIME. It's looking like a case of style over substance to me. I'm a fan of 'leave your brain at the door' entertainment, but even this is too much for me.

All amazing games, only one of which has conventional gameplay mechanics. I've seriously never been let down by a SUDA game just yet, they're so goddamn unique and so interesting in the way they're designed.

Killer7 really is an amazing game, especially once you get your head around the batshit insane plot.

So. much. jiggle. I can't tell if it's a terrible thing they went with "stereotypical cheerleader character" instead of mixing it up a little and surprising everyone. Hell, I'd rate this kind of "overt use of female assets" as worse than something like DOAX if it doesn't turn out to be more than its cover, so to speak.

DOAX was a bad game. If the volleyball in DOAX was as good as say Beach Spikers I'd have bought and kept it.
Lollipop Chainsaw looks like it'll be a competent game under the boobs.
Plus Suda, if you haven't finished a Suda game it's hard to explain the allure.

I'm saying that if "oh ho, here's a game that LOOKS like it's hurr durr sex sells, but we all know it will be so much more!" actually just turned out to be "hurr durr sex sells", then I'd say that's a bigger failure than "THIS IS A GAME ABOUT TITS, YOU KNOW IT WE KNOW IT BUY IT IF YOU'RE WEIRD."
